Oh, Could I Rest In Mary's Place

Author: Marie Wexels Hymnal: Hymnal for Church and Home #264 (1927) Meter: 8.8.7.8.8.7 Lyrics: 1 Oh, could I rest in Mary's place And look into my Savior's face With child-like faith and gladness, Could I at morning and at night Embrace His words with deep delight, They would dispel my sadness. 2 Then I should find the strength with joy To labor in my Lord's employ And walk in His blest Spirit, His love within my heart would grow And anthems from my lips would flow To praise His grace and merit. 3 Oh, speak to me, my Friend and Lord, And I will answer with the word Thou hast in me implanted, For I have naught that I can bring To Thee, my mighty Lord and King, Except what Thou hast granted. 4 Thy Word, O Lord, is fill'd with pow'r And blessed is each silent hour We at Thy feet are spending; There ev'ry grief and fear is still'd And hearts, with strength and courage fill'd, Are heaven-ward ascending.

J. C. Aaberg

1877 - 1970 Translator of "O could I rest in Mary's place" Jens Christian Aaberg (b. Moberg, Denmark, 1877; d. Minneapolis, MN, 1970) immigrated to the United States in 1901. Educated at Grand View College and Seminary in Des Moines, Iowa, he entered the ministry of the Danish Evangelical Lutheran Church in America and served congregations in Marinette, Wisconsin; Dwight, Illinois; and Minneapolis, Minnesota. Aaberg wrote Hymns and Hymnwriters of Denmark (1945), translated at least eighty hymns from Danish into English, and served on four hymnal committees. In 1947 King Frederick of Denmark awarded him the Knight Cross of Denmark. --Psalter Hymnal Handbook, 1987
